Coca-Cola celebrated 30 years of production at its Timi\u0219oara plant, in western Romania, by announcing a RON 5 million (roughly EUR 1 million) investment in a solar park, the company\u2019s first renewable energy facility in Romania.<\/p>\n
The new solar installation will cover about 20% of the factory\u2019s electricity needs and cut carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 1,200 tonnes per year, the company said.<\/p>\n
The bottling plant, inaugurated in 1995, has grown into a strategic hub for Coca-Cola HBC, producing around 284 million liters of beverages annually and exporting to 15 countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis factory is a symbol of resilience and innovation. For three decades, Timi\u0219oara has shown how passion and professionalism can drive sustainable growth,\u201d said Cornel C\u0103r\u0103mizaru, General Manager of Coca-Cola HBC Romania.<\/p>\n
Roughly RON 1.5 million of the solar park\u2019s cost was financed through the European Union\u2019s Modernization Fund.<\/p>\n
Coca-Cola has been present in Romania for 34 years, operating plants in Timi\u0219oara, Ploie\u0219ti, and Poiana Negrii. In 2024, the Coca-Cola System contributed EUR 911 million in added value to the national economy, equivalent to 0.26% of GDP, with EUR 502 million going to the state budget.<\/p>\n
According to the company, 86% of its suppliers in Romania are local, and its operations support 20,700 jobs, including 1,560 direct employees.<\/p>\n
